People are my passion. In 2009 I began exploring photography as a creative outlet. What I learned is it brought me closer to people as individuals, and allowed me to portray them in situations, concepts, and stories that felt larger than life.

Specifically what I specialize in is Creative Portrait Artwork. Using my favorite tool, light, and pairing it with other fun stuff like intense colors, fashion inspired flare. smoke machines, glitter, vintage cameras, laser pointers, or random pieces of furniture. I create unique artistic portraits that make the subject feel larger than life.

I find my inspiration in long drives, abstract artwork, stories of tragedy, sleeping next to my wife, my best friend's children, the idea that "too much" is actually "just right", unbelievable tales, Eric Clapton, Jack White, intense colors, dramatic skies, and that place just between awake and asleep.

As a person I am very kind, confident, content, genuine, funny, INTENSE, and ready to talk. I am very happily married, devout about my faith, and obsessed with the camera's relationship with light. I love Eric Clapton, guitar solos, and almost anything that is over the top. And I respect honesty, passion, and love.

I am currently located in the Central Valley of California. I create Portrait Artwork on a commission basis. If you would like to set up a commission please contact me by email at adam@adamallenphotography.com and we will make an appointment for a consultation.

Thank you for visiting, I hope you are able to express your heart in someway today.

God Bless You,

No-Thanksgiving Adam Allen Vlog

Sarah and I give thanks year round. It’s part of our faith. I don’t mean we have an attitude of thanksgiving. I mean we literally say “thank you” for many things, even the bad things that teach us lessons, all year round. So we joked that we should to “No-Thanksgiving” and list the things we are not thankful for. Here’s part of that list.

Feel free to share some things you’d like to say, “no thank you” to.

Thank you for letting me share with you. I hope you find a way to express your heart today.

Paula Rodgers Hewitt-I don’t like that some people forget about you 364 days a year (365 in leap year), but suddenly remember on Valentine’s Day – because every advertisement reminds them. If you don’t have time the rest of the year, don’t waste my time on just one day.

Adam Allen-You’re welcome to say no thanks to valentine’s day. But I love that day. I use it to celebrate everyone I love.

Paula Rodgers Hewitt-That is so awesome Adam. You are the second couple I have met who live to give thanks all year round. I love the idea. Can I add another one to your list? Valentine’s Day! “NO THANKS!”

Amado Rivas -It’s videos like this that make me thankful to call you a friend. This was hilarious! Lol! I do have to say no thanks to some of ur no thanks (don’t judge me, I never use UR) but it’s a free country and we can disagree…and I think that’s cool! 🙂
